Clackamas, Oregon location of Temco 

Metal Company. The Department has 

determined that the Express Personnel

Oregon who were adversely affected as 

an upstream supplier for a trade 

certified primary firm. 

The amended notice applicable to 

TA–W–61,418 is hereby issued as 

follows: 

All workers of Temco Metal Company, 

including on-site leased workers of Express 

Personnel, Clackamas, Oregon, who became 

totally or partially separated from 

employment on or after April 27, 2006, 

through June 12, 2009, are eligible to apply 

for adjustment assistance under section 223 

of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible 

to apply for alternative trade adjustment 

assistance under section 246 of the Trade Act 

of 1974. 

Signed at Washington, DC this 14th day of 

August 2007.

Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996, 

has developed regulations for the 

establishment of a permit system for 

various activities in Antarctica and 

designation of certain animals and 

certain geographic areas requiring

USA. The applicant plans to capture, 

tag, collect blood and tissue samples, 

and photograph up to 50 each of Ross, 

Crabeater, Weddell and Leopard seals. 

The samples will be taken to the U.S. for 

further study and analysis. The aim of 

the research is on ice-associated 

Antarctic phocid carnivores is to collect 

basic information on the reproductive 

biology and behavior, disease and 

pathology, populations genetics, 

immunogenetics, foraging ecology and 

seasonal migrations and distribution of 

these species. 

Location: Sea ice habitats of the 

western Bellingshausen, Amundsen and 

eastern Ross seas. 

Dates: September 1, 2007 to 31

College Station, TX 77843–112. Permit 

Application No. 2008–014. 

Activity for Which Permit Is 

Requested: Take and enter an Antarctic 

Specially Protected Area (ASPA). The 

applicant proposes to visit Cape Bird, 

and enter Hut Point (ASPA 158) and 

Arrival Heights (ASPA 122) to collect 

soil samples and permafrost 

measurements. These sites are 

specifically targeted because of the 

nature of their geology, climatic 

influences and topography. One site has 

been chosen as a reference control area 

for the study of temporal and spatial 

scales of various types of disturbances 

in and around McMurdo Station, 

Antarctica. Arrival Heights has been 

sampled in past seasons and is slated to 

be sampled as part of the ongoing 

environmental monitoring program. 

Location: Cape Bird, Hut Point (ASPA 

158) and Arrival Heights (ASPA 122), 

Ross Island.

underwater recordings of vocal activity. 

The approach will be to observe and 

record these animals from a distance 

where incidental disturbance to them 

will be avoided or minimized and brief. 

Location: Western Amundsen, 

Bellingshausen and eastern Ross seas, 

Antarctica.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE 

COMMISSION 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Upon written request, copies available 

from: Securities and Exchange 

Commission, Office of Investor 

Education and Advocacy, 

Washington, DC 20549–0213. 

Extension: Rule 17a–3(a)(16), SEC File No. 

270–452, OMB Control No. 3235–0508. 

Notice is hereby given that pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. Sec. 3501 et seq.), the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘Commission’’) has submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(‘‘OMB’’) a request for extension of the 

previously approved collection of 

information discussed below. 

Rule 17a–3(a)(16) (17 CFR 240.17a–

3(a)(16)) under the Securities Exchange 

Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Act’’) (15 U.S.C. 78q 

et seq.) identifies the records required to 

be made by broker-dealers that operate 

internal broker-dealer systems. Those 

records are to be used in monitoring 

compliance with the Commission’s 

financial responsibility program and 

antifraud and antimanipulative rules, as 

well as other rules and regulations of 

the Commission and the self-regulatory 

organizations. It is estimated that 

approximately 105 active broker-dealer 

respondents registered with the 

Commission incur an average burden of 

2,835 hours per year (105 respondents 

multiplied by 27 burden hours per 

respondent equals 2,385 total burden 

hours) to comply with this rule. The 

average cost per hour is $197. Therefore 

the total cost of compliance for the 

respondents is $558,495. 

Rule 17a–3(a)(16) does not contain 

record retention requirements. 

Compliance with the rule is mandatory. 

The required records are available only 

to the examination staff of the 

Commission and the self-regulatory 

organization of which the broker-dealer 

is a member. An agency may not 

conduct or sponsor and a person is not 

required to respond to a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid control number. 

Comments should be directed to (i) 

Desk Officer for the Securities and 

Exchange Commission, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs, 

Office of Management and Budget, 

Room 10102, New Executive Office 

Building, Washington, DC 20503 or by

Commission, c/o Shirley Martinson,

VA 22312 or send an e-mail to:

be submitted within 30 days of this 

notice.
